G'day *ARTHUR*!

This is a great shot of a pollen covered flower wasp. You have handled the exposure of an almost pure black and white scene very well indeed.
The square format and composition is ideal for this type of work and your focus and depth of field are really good.
I hope you're not allergic to pollen. 8-)
